Now, let's move along to the ingredients needed to make this tasty chipotle guacamole recipe.

Ingredients

As I mentioned before, Chipotle's recipe for guacamole uses fresh and simple ingredients, and this homemade version is no different.

Here's what you'll need to make the Chipotle guacamole recipe:

• 4 ripe Hass Avocados
• 2 Garlic Cloves, mashed
• ½ tsp. Kosher Salt, to taste
• ½ Red Onion, diced
• ¼ cup Cilantro, sliced
• 1 Lime, squeeze
• Tortilla Chips or Nachos to Serve

I bet you have some of these ingredients on hand, right?  If not, just a quick trip to the store is all you'll need to make this avocado dip.

Ingredient Tips

Now, half of the battle of making the best homemade guacamole recipe is finding the right avocado. So, first, I suggest using Hass avocados because they are the best avocados in terms of shape, flavor, and size.

Then, you want to make sure you're choosing perfectly ripe avocados. So, to find the best avocados, when you're picking them out in the grocery store, lightly press in at the top of the avocado. You want the avocado to indent slightly but still be firm in the middle.

By the way, using a fresh lime to get the lime juice for this recipe is the best option to brighten the flavors of this guac. With that said, you can also use the premade lime juice if that's all you have - it just won't be as fresh tasting. Also, for what it's worth, if you're in a pinch, lemon juice can be substituted for fresh lime juice as well.

Anyway, now let's get to making this delicious Chipotle guacamole!

How to Make Chipotle Guacamole

As I mentioned earlier, this recipe takes just minutes to make. And, if you get out your ingredients beforehand, the process will go even quicker!

So, let's not waste another second and dive into how to make Chipotle guacamole!

Step 1: Mash the Avocado

Everyone knows the best thing about homemade guac is its texture. So, I suggest using a mortar and pestle to mash the avocados. But, if you don't have one handy, a fork - or potato masher - works just as well.

If you want your guac to be extra smooth, make sure to smash it a little extra. And if you like to have some fresh avocado chunks mixed in, mash it a little less. The final texture really is totally up to your preferences.

Anyway, mash the avocados in a medium bowl until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 2: Add the Seasonings

Now that your avocado is mashed, it's time to add that delicious depth of flavor that makes this so darn good. So, to do that, add the garlic, salt, red onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice to the bowl and mix until all of the ingredients are well combined.

Step 3: Serve

Once the prepared guacamole is mixed, you can serve it in the bowl you made it in or transfer it to the bowl of your choice.

Then, put the creamy guacamole bowl on a plate of tortilla chips and dig in! 

How to Store Guacamole

This recipe for Chipotle's guacamole will make about one and a half cups, so it will definitely be enough if you're planning on sharing!

But, if you have any leftovers, you'll want to follow these steps to keep your guacamole from browning. Then, you can transfer the guac to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
